you get a job in naija. Problem solved. I don't see how you can be truly happy for a man who considers you an inferior
No one considers me inferior, and those who do are no different to ignorant people who think I'm in Oshodi. Their opinion of me is irrelevant because they know not of what they speak. And if they voice such ignorance, I'd just sack their ignorant asses because voicing such opinions is contrary to their terms of employment, which would include adherence to the Equalities Act 2010, which I'd ask you to go look up so you are better informed.

investments don't pay that much. You want to sit down and be waiting for rent from a tenant ? Or be waiting for stock dividend payout ? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 CASH IS KING 👑
investment is better. It is a hedge against inflation. Cash can be eaten by inflation.

which is why I am asking the question but you keep ducking. The question is can you save 1 million pounds over a 40 year career in the uk
you cant. Rather you have to grow that money by investment.

This is just ignorant, and Dangote and Musk would likely disagree with you.

Do you not know you can invest in a factory that produces something you can sell for profit instead of just being a rent seeker?

What if they sold it to buy another abroad? They probably did not sell it cos they are looking for proof of fund or money for survival.

A friend of mine sold his Lekki home a year after japaing to invest in real estate abroad. You can argue whether it makes sense or not but that was his choice.
As our faces are different so also our needs, mentality and what we want to achieve in life differs.For example, I want to live a good life and I don't care about being "rich". If it comes, fine, if not, I'm interested in living a quality life, others may have different interests.
your friend has murdered peace. His lekki home most likely can only fetch deposit money for mortgage. He has to ensure he pays that mortgage for 35 years or he loses everything. That boy has murdered peace

your stocks is protected by fcsc. However always go for etfs, gold and index fund. They are safer. You should have home insurance in place. House depreciation is not a regular thing. Even if so you can get a bridge loan to refurbish and make it valuable.

Dividend on stocks plummet all the time. They can only give you what they profit. Home insurance payment of thousands of pounds per year is a loss. So as you can see ? Cash is king . Even dangote will tell you liquid cash is king.

Get a loan ? If you had a million pounds you would not need bank loans which you end up paying three times the loan

i only care about growth of my capital not dividend. How is home insurance a loss? You are talking about an insurance that would replace your home if burnt for how much a year? You bank on dangote? Who is now in the bottom of the billionaires table?

if I put 1 million dollars in fixed deposit at 10 percent that's 100 thousand pounds coming to me every month without doing anything. Sweetttttttt 😆

Tell me what investments you have that can fetch 100 thousand pounds every month ?

Cash is king bro. You just need to know what you are doing

home insurance on a home that is not a principal property but investment properties which may be vacant for many months before you find tenants ? Also laws favor the tenants etc etc.

Oga Heaven4444 seems you had F9 in mathematics in school because 10% interest rate on your 1 Million deposit will fetch you less than 1k monthly, moreover no where in the West you get such a high rate on fixed deposit. It is in high risk environment like Naija you get such high rates but your deposit is suseptible to a higher depreciation.
A building insurance cost way less than 1k pounds annually and it of little or no relevance if it is owner occupied or tenanted. It is senseless to have your property NOT insured in the West.

What's silly about it ? Stop trying to sound smart because you are not. Yeah white people think the way you are stating but immigrants who plan to retire back home save heavily for as long as they are working. So answer the question and stop trying to sound smart
Your question is stupid. Take it like that. Swallow your ignorant pride so you can learn.

Why the hell should I be saving £1m in an economy with credit? 🤣

the credit is not open to everyone.

Credit is open to all UK companies with a feasible business opportunity. Operating as human and doing things in your name exposes you to being denied.

Open a company, seek out an opportunity that can service a loan and probably balloon your income to £10k per month or more. The risk has to be worth it for you too. Even if the whole thing fails, your company declares bankruptcy and that is the end.

But you did not start to fail. Do the right deals and in 5 years not 40 you could be a millionaire. You can see saving is snail speed and a waste of time.

You can also use savings and dollar cost averaging S&P500 ETFs to become a millionaire. It will take like 30 years or so if you save like £500 monthly. Use compound interest calculator with 8% yield annually to get a more accurate answer.

ramblings and fantasies. Everybody cannot start a business that brings in 10k a month in the UK. So your post is mute and void

the average person with pension abroad who goes back to retire home can survive on the basic pensions usually about 800-1200 dollars a month. Where u wan see 1m pounds haba.

My uncle in the uk has two houses paid off. If he sells both i estimate he walks away with 300-350k. He has been in uk since the 80s sha. Wants to retire back home the wife no gree
I am curious, why does she refuse to move back? He should be in his late 60s all things being equal.

Subprime means bad credit, not low income. A small subset of our Drunken Sailors has subprime credit scores because they’ve been behind with their payments, have defaulted on their debts and other obligations, etc. But low-income people cannot borrow at all or only very little. It’s the people with higher incomes that have access to lots of credit that get into it over their heads and fall behind. People with good incomes early on in their careers fall into this trap easily, and eventually get out of it again.

Subprime isn’t a permanent condition, but a phase that consumers move into and out of: Some people get into trouble, and fall behind on their payments, and their credit scores drop to subprime, while others are curing their credit problems and are working their way out of a subprime credit rating. It’s in constant flux.
